Derc again here updating the Blog... Or as Kale likes to say the "the coolest dad ever!" no offense to any other dads out there, he is just partial to me...
So Monday and this morning Kale is still doing great, his 8am gas was awesome, and he had a solid boring night for the nurses. His weight is 3.5lbs, which is going to decrease a little due to swelling going down, and the steroids do stunt his growth a little while he is on them. Once he is off the steroids they say he can hit a big growth spurt, so i am guessing he may be like 6 foot by the time we get him home in August! Scholarship's here we come! (Steph is going to kill me for posting this.) His Dr has pulled back on doing tests and x-rays. So routine tests are only once per week now, and his x rays which were daily are now only Monday's and Thursdays. He will still get eye exams every week though until the eye doctor clears him, which may not be for a long while until his retinas mature.
Our home computer is still not functioning for now, hopefully this week we will get the power cord in the mail, and then we can turn it back on.... pictures will be uploaded immediatly.
Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers!

Way to go Kale!!! You're doing great! You have one proud daddy! He is a good blogger....he should do it more often! Keep it up buddy and we'll see you soon!
ReplyDeleteLots of love to you all!
We were so excited to see him yesterday, and just can't believe how big he is! We LOVED being able to touch his head yesterday, and I treasured the little kiss to the head I was able to give him. Soooo special.
ReplyDeleteKale - you're doing great and we're proud of your progress.
Love
Grandma and Grandpa Rainbow
Big Daddy, love your blog and so happy that Kale is doing so well. Yeah! Be careful about wishing for him to be 6' in August - he might be a giant like Hagen! All love and hugs, Barbara
